Crestron’s True Blue Support, log in at http://support.crestron.com. First-time users will need to establish a user account. You can create a program that allows you to include the QM-FTCC-TPS4 in a Crestron control system. The program output of Crestron SystemBuilder is a SIMPL Windows program with much of the functionality encapsulated in macros and templates.
Crestron QM-FTCC-TPS4 Earliest Version Software Requirements for the PC NOTE: Crestron recommends that you use the latest software to take advantage of the most recently released features. The latest software is available from the Crestron website. The following are the earliest useable software version requirements for the PC:...
System Views. The QM-RMCRX-BA with its associated communication ports is displayed in the System Views upper pane. NOTE: Crestron software and any files on the website are for Authorized Crestron dealers and Crestron Authorized Independent Programmers (CAIP) only. New users may be required to register to obtain access to certain areas of the site (including the FTP site).
Net ID. Supported devices include network control modules, lighting modules and a variety of Crestron wired touchpanels. The QM-FTCC-TPS4 is actually two devices in a single housing, so to incorporate a QM-FTCC-TPS4 into the system, you need to drag both the touchpanel (TPS4) and the QuickMedia module (QM-FTCC) into System Views individually.
NOTE: This procedure sets the Net ID for the QM-FTCC-TPS and the TPS4 in the program only. It does not automatically set the Net ID for the QM-FTCC-TPS4 hardware. SIMPL Windows automatically changes Net ID values of a device added to a program if a duplicate device or a device with the same Net ID already exists in the program.
PC. The PC may be disconnected from the control system or panel except during reprogramming. When you start the VT Pro-e project for this product, select QM-FTCC-TPS4 as the panel type.

Visual Representation of Gating Level, Clipping Level, Attack Time, and Decay Time Setting Microphone Gain The QM-FTCC-TPS4 provides variable gain on the microphone inputs. The following procedure is used to set the optimal gain for a microphone input. Use the Realtime Mode in SystemBuilder to control phantom power, gain and gate settings, and to monitor the gate, normal, and clip level indicators.
Setting the Gating Level The QM-FTCC-TPS4 provides an input level gating function that will mute a microphone signal when the input sound level is below a user-set threshold. This function can be enabled or disabled via software commands.

FlipTop Touchpanel Computer Center Auto Compensation with a Self-Peaking Receiver Crestron's innovative self-peaking audio circuit eliminates the need to peak the audio signal. Without self-peaking the same peak and boost values are applied equally to the video and audio signals. When these signals travel the same path, this arrangement is satisfactory.
